I usually have my JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes fundraising letter done and distributed by mid-July. This year has been different. I've been in a fundraising funk. I'm just tired of writing the same statistics year after year. The lower life expectancy; the long-term complications; adding up the number of finger pricks since November of 2003. I finally did sit down and write our letter - deciding to simply write what I was feeling at that moment.
Dear Friends and Family,
"A cure for diabetes is just around the corner."
"Scientists are closer than ever to finding a cure."
"A cure for diabetes is now within reach."
